Three days later Christian has convinced me to stay at the cabin with him and CJ for one day. It's actually a really nice cabin and we are currently on a blanket by a lake while CJ is playing near the water.

"My mom told me about his birth and that your pregnancy wasn't easy. Why haven't you told me?"

"I don't know... it's not a topic I like to talk about it and everything ended well, so I didn't want to upset you with it."

"Why did you have to stay at the hospital so often?"

"First my blood pressure was on a constant rollercoaster, then it turned out that CJ and I have a different blood type which led to more complications and once that was under control I started to have premature labor twice which thankfully both times could be stopped. But right now, I don't want to talk about myself... tell me more about what you have done... how was meeting your mom for the first time... just tell me more about the past six years." I ask and he surprises me when he actually starts to talk.

"I met my mom and dad when I was fifteen. Your dad helped me to meet them. I wanted to tell you so bad but they asked me not to because they were afraid if more people knew Elena and Carrick would find out. Meeting them was amazing, even though Jason is not my real dad, he treated me no different than his other kids. I wanted to live with them so bad but I didn't know how to do it. And then Elena she freaked me out so bad, knowing what she had done to me, how much I look like my biological dad and that she wanted him. It took me all that I had not to yell at her to take her filthy paws off me that I am not Lance." He says and looks over to CJ.

"How long did she do that to you?"

"It started when I was fourteen but back then I didn't realize what she was doing. I thought she just did it by accident or that puberty is making me imagine things. It wasn't until I was fifteen or maybe even sixteen that I couldn't find excuses for her touching me the way she did anymore. By then I already knew the truth about my parents so that helped with seeing things more clearly. Right before everything went down I would sleep in the treehouse because she would come into my room in the middle of the night but it all reached its peak when she came into the shower with me. At that point, I knew I had to get out. The only reason I asked Mia and Elliot if something like that had ever happened to them was because I would have taken them with me... but they both denied it... Elliot got fucking pissed because to him Elena was the best mom in the world. I wanted to tell you but then I couldn't. I was scared you wouldn't believe me either and if you did I couldn't ask you to run away with me."

"I would have believed you... because I know you would never lie to me."

"Back then everything was such a mess. That night at the lake... I knew I would be leaving one way or another but I couldn't leave without letting you know how I truly feel about you. I wanted to ask Ray to help me get out the next day. I don't remember getting hit that night. What I do remember is waking up in the trunk of a moving car. I was sure it was Elena who had kidnapped me and was about to bring me somewhere, where I wouldn't be able to escape her. I was terrified when the trunk opened and then I saw Ray and before I could even understand what was happening I was here. It was a weird feeling at first, I felt safe but also lost because you weren't there with me. My parents and siblings helped me a lot to distract me and I talked a lot to my mom, understood how much it means to her to finally have me in her life again. During college, I made some friends but they only distracted me from studying and so I dropped them."

"What about your company?" I ask and he looks sad for a moment.

"I always wanted to go into mergers and acquisitions. So, I decided to start my own company... but as it grew it just took too much of my time. So, I stepped back." He says.

"But you still love doing mergers and acquisitions."

"I do, but it's just not what I need to do right now."

"Was there another woman?" I ask. I know he said he never dated but that doesn't mean he hasn't slept with a girl... actually, I cannot picture him in college and not at least having a short fling with a girl.

"No, you are the only woman I ever wanted. I knew I would see you again one day, that made the wait easier... so... you told me you went on a few dates... did you have sex with any of those fuckers?" He asks and I snort.

"No, it never went that far, I didn't even kiss any of them. It just didn't feel right."

"I get what you mean... I guess we are simply meant to be." He says and pulls me into his lap.

"I don't want to ruin the moment but if we are where are going to live?" I ask and feel him tense.

"Please, can we not talk about this just for one day?"

"Ok... want to see something fun?" I ask jump up and take my dress off before I hurry over to the big tree by the lake, climb it and walk to the edge of one of the thick branches.

"Ana stop it, you are going to break your neck!" Christian calls out but I jump into the water and come up laughing.

"See, I can do it now." I call out and he gives me an exasperated look even though he is laughing. Because as children my Dad would take us to his parents who lived in Montesano. There was a huge lake with lots of trees but I was never brave enough to jump off the branches into the lake as he did.

"Me too, mommy." CJ calls out and like a little monkey he is up on the branch in no time and jumps so he comes up right next to me.

"You too, Daddy." He calls out in childish delight.

"Come on, Christian, it's fun."

"Fine..." He chuckles and soon we are all in the lake having a water war until CJ is exhausted and we head back to the blanket.

"Weren't you worried that he will hurt himself?" Christian after CJ has nodded off.

"No, he loves to climb trees and I don't want him to be scared of anything. The tree wasn't high, so if he would have fallen off the worst thing that could have happened would be a bruise or a few scratches and that is normal for kids. It's part of growing up and learning to judge the risk of the actions they take."

"So you are never scared?"

"Of course, I am... but parents who are too anxious make their children anxious. So, I take a deep breathe and let him try whatever it is he wants to try as long as it is within reason."

"Then I'll try to do the same... but just to be sure allowing him to drive my car as he has asked me to is not within reason, right?" He smirks and I laugh.

"No, that wouldn't be within reason especially since he is too short to even reach the pedals."

"Fair point, well made." He smirks and after we are back at the cabin we all make dinner together, eat and watch one of CJ's favorite cartoons before it's time for him to go to bed.

"That was quick." Christian says when CJ is fast asleep before his bedtime story is even finished.

"He was running around outside all day that certainly helped. Do you want a glass of wine?" I ask as we walk back into the living room.

"No... I want you." He says and pulls me into his arms. "You want this too, right?" He asks and traces my bottom lip with his thumb.

"Yes." I answer with a smile and smirks.

"Then you won't be needing this." He says, reaches for the hem of my dress and takes it off, leaving me only in my panties.

"You are even more beautiful than before, your body has changed." He says just looking at me and I take his shirt off.

"So has yours." I whisper letting my fingers run over his six-pack. „I like this a lot."

"And I like this." He says and runs his hands down the curve of my hips and then all the way up to my breasts. „I really like these." He murmurs and leans down to suck one nipple into his mouth before he kisses a path up one breast and over to other to tease that nipple too.

Once both of my nipples are hard he kisses up my neck until our lips meet and my hands slide to his pants where I unbuckle his belt but he stops me, picks me up and starts walking towards the bedroom.

"No more fucking interruptions." He says with a grin when he locks the door and then places me in the middle of the bed.

I watch him as he undresses and already feel tingly all over my body just by looking at Christian naked and ready to make love to me.

Slowly he stalks back to the bed and crawls onto it and between my legs.

"I think you are a bit overdressed for the occasion, Miss Steele." He smirks against my lips and in one swift move my panties are gone and he is back on top of me, kissing down my belly and further down.

"Oh God..." I moan when his tongue circles my clit.

"You taste so fucking good, baby... I think I need to taste you some more." He says huskily and pushes his tongue into my entrance which makes me cry out and fist the sheets while he continues to push his tongue in and out of me a few more times before goes back to playing with my clit and I feel like my entire body is on fire.

"Fuck you are so wet... that's so fucking hot... I can't wait to be inside you." He murmurs against me.

"Neither can I." I moan and he chuckles and slowly moves up my body until we are touching from head to toe and he kisses me deeply while I feel his erection at my entrance. When he enters me he goes very slow savoring each second of it until he is so deep inside of me that I feel his balls against my bottom and the only way for me to describe the feeling of being one with him is the feeling of coming home after such a long time that you almost thought you'd never come home again.

For a moment neither of his is moving and Christian has his forehead pressed against mine. And then he slowly starts to move and wrap my arms and legs around him, match his rhythm with my own movement until it is him moaning how much he loves me that tips me over the edge and him right with me until we both lie there in a peaceful silence that is only disturbed by our heavy breathing as we both enjoy the afterglow of our lovemaking.

"Your phone has been ringing five times already, you should get this." Christian whispers to me.

"No, I'm too comfortable..." I sigh while I'm still resting on top of him.

"Come on, the sooner you answer the call the sooner we can start with round number two."

"Well, if you put it that way." I say and get up to find my phone which is on the chest of drawers in the hallway.

"It's my dad." I murmur and take the call. "Hi Dad."

"Ana, there was an accident."

"What... oh my god, are you alright... is it Mom? Aunt Rebecca?"

"No, no... we are all fine. It's Elena."

"What, I don't understand."

"The FBI has found out that she had a sexual relationship with a minor... one who looked a lot like Christian. They came to arrest her, she ran. When she tried to cross the street she didn't see the truck... she died on the spot."

"Oh my God... how are Elliot and Mia?"

"The kids are both here. Your mom and I will help them until they are better. It's been a lot for them."

"I know... I feel so bad for them... are they still up?"

"No, Mia is asleep and Elliot had a few too many drinks he passed out thirty minutes ago."

"I'll call them tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know."

I hang up and turn around to find Christian looking at me.

"What happened, are Elliot and Mia alright?"

"Yes... it's Elena, the FBI found out she was having an affair with a minor and came to arrest her. She tried to run and... and she ran in front of a truck."

"Is she...?"

"Yes, she is dead." I reply and watch his face as he takes the news in.

"Elliot and Mia know?"

"Yes, they are staying with my parents for a few days to deal with everything."

"Good... so, round number two?"

"Christian wait, shouldn't we talk about this?" I ask and stop him.

„No, there is nothing to say, Ana. She was a horrible woman who nearly ruined my mother's life, stole me from my mother and tried to fuck me while I was still thinking of her as my mother... believe me, I won't lose sleep over the fact that she is burning in hell now." He says and pulls me into his arms to kiss me... and just like that I lose all thoughts of Elena and can only think of Christian who owns me heart, body and soul...

Just a few little things, first, next chapter the shit is going to hit the fan big time, but don't worry, nothing is going to happen to CJ or Ana. And second I'm stuck with this story, currently I have all the chapters up to chapter 21 written and I know how to finish this story but there are two very different options. So, I have decided to update more frequently until we reach chapter 21 and then I leave it up to all of you which way this story is going to take... Oh, and a few of you mentioned that Ana is also obsessed with Christian, and yes, in a way she is because she is desperately clinging on to the ideal picture of the boy she once knew which she had created in her mind to somehow cope with his disappearance.
